That plane hauled around a lot of stuff... I remember working on it when it was in FLL in the early 80's . Somewhere in a box stored away I have some pictures of it including the interior. These aircraft were usually stripped of all the old equipment to increase the payload. Two ac alternators off each outboard engine, all the extra wiring, two big 400 cps inverters, all the old radio equipment, ARN-7 adf, 51X3 com receivers, ARN14 , RDR-1 radar, and a bunch of other stuff that I can't remember any more. In total you could remove over 10000 lbs of old equipment and replace it with less than 200 lbs. of late solid state equipment and increase your cargo capacity by that much.
